I read that they are also demanding that any pilots operating a flight with a Quantas code share flight number be paid the same as a Quantas pilot would be compensated for that leg.

Been looking for somewhere to take the family on a quick get away. Man, if this weekend is any indication of how full we are going to be this summer, we are in store for record loads. Heck, it is even difficult to get to Buffalo NYC to take the kiddos to Niagara. Now that is impressive. |
Doh!
Looks like it might not hold on the 50 dma. Another big volume distribution day.
DAL - SharpCharts Workbench - StockCharts.com Have a great weekend everyone. And remember when the pilot contract survey comes out, time x's 1.5 like the rest of the employees that are working on Memorial Day. |

Qantas strike-threat pilots demand $200,000 each | News.com.au
Qantas strike-threat pilots demand $200,000 each Qantas pilots claiming pay rise, free flight perks Will cost airline $317m if it caves in to demands Qantas chief says future of carrier is in jeopardy QANTAS pilots stand to pocket almost $200,000 each on average if the airline caves into their demands, with the lion's share going on two free tickets a year to anywhere in the world. Qantas CEO Alan Joyce says the future of Qantas as an international carrier is in jeopardy. 26 May 2011Sky News Figures obtained by the Herald Sun reveal the pilots' claim for a pay rise, added job security and perks such as free flights, would total $317 million - an average of about $190,000 for each of the airline's 1700 flyboys. Almost half of this - an estimated $145 million - would go towards pilots seeking two free premium economy seats to any overseas destination as a pay-off for Qantas being able to determine when they take their annual leave. Other costs include a 2.5 per cent annual increase in wages over three years and a re-classification of what each level of pilots is paid, such as raising Boeing 767 pilots to the higher A330 rate (a more than 10 per cent increase) and the Boeing 747 to the A380 pay rate (a 5 per cent increase). Qantas puts cost of pay claim at $317m An average 747 pilot earns $350,000 a year and the top pilots earn up to $500,000. Pilots are preparing to go on strike for the first time in more than two decades, a move that threatens to cripple the national carrier. The pilots said yesterday that they were striking over job security. "The future of Qantas is in jeopardy" Yesterday the airline's CEO Alan Joyce said the future of the carrier was in doubt if action by "rogue union" leaders continued. Fair Work Australia yesterday approved a ballot allowing long-haul pilots to vote on taking industrial action for the first time in 45 years. "The continued claim that they are going to take industrial action ... is an attempt at further damaging the brand," Mr Joyce told the ABC's 7.30 program yesterday. "Unfortunately, this is the way some of these rogue union leaders think." The demands would result in job cuts, Mr Joyce said. "They are demands the company cannot agree to and they are demands that will result in job losses in this company," he said. Mr Joyce labelled both the engineers' and pilots' union leaders as "rogues" who the company was "going to have to stand up to". Qantas puts the cost of the demands at more than $300 million but the pilots' association says the figure is more like $90 million. "There are certain demands I cannot concede to because it will endanger the survival of the company," Mr Joyce said. "Our international business is losing money, our international business, if these demands are met, will go back even further."

Restore our pay and benefits, or let the DPA do it. Big gains in all areas, and I want to see it in the ALPA opener for negotiations.
THe rest is up to mangers. Most of the time, the numbers they provide are untruthful, exaggerated or creative. Managers get paid to create value for our shareholders and create revenues for the company. This should not be a pilots' concern. Too much energy is wasted into unnecessary dialog between the workers and managers. Our union needs to demand and negotiate restoration. It is not our concern that management cant keep up with the cost of doing business. Its their fault, maybe they need paycuts:) But ME THINKS, management can keep up with the cost of business and they will do everything in their power to prove otherwise. I hope our union gets this.

Is this new news? It was just published by AIN today.
More Republic E170s to fly for Delta: AINonline More Republic E170s to fly for Delta By: Gregory Polek May 27, 2011 Regional Airlines, Air Transport and Cargo Aircraft An amendment to Republic Airways’ capacity purchase agreement with Delta Air Lines will allow it to add six dual-class Embraer E170s to the Delta Connection network, Republic announced in late April. The move follows a previously announced amendment in January that added eight Republic E170s to its Delta capacity purchase agreement. The contract calls for a six-year term of service for Delta. Republic expects to start moving the airplanes from its Frontier Airlines operation next month until all six enter Delta Connection service by October 1. By then Republic and its subsidiaries will operate 16 E175s, 14 E170s and 24 ERJ 145s for Delta. The fleet reallocation furthers Republic’s plans to remove all E170s from the Frontier operation and provides the company the opportunity “to make network adjustments and capacity reductions to create better efficiency and lower costs for the branded operation.” The company now expects this year’s capacity, as measured by ASMs, either to stay flat or grow up to 1 percent on its Frontier operations. |
